True Love?

Sorry, that was too cute not to post. Anyway...

I posted a link to a video a while back about a couple where the man was injured, and the lady married him anyway, showing the ultimate example of Christlike love. She got nothing in the marriage, but married him, and now helps him selflessly, since he can't himself, suffering from a serious head injury.

Piano guys is one of my favorite artists, and they recently did a version of Christina Perri's "A Thousand Years". Their version has no words, but I looked up the lyrics out of curiosity. Here is what they are.


(grit your teeth and try to bear them)

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more


*Rolling eyes, letting out air*
Ok, not too bad.
That song peddles emotion based love, almost selfish love. The lady in the video I linked to before, showed the ultimate *unselfish* love, but dying to herself to serve her husband.

Take a wild gander at what the world calls "True Love", and which one is real "True Love".

I'll leave you to cogitate on that. That got me thinkin. Hope it makes you too.
